L 0 N D 0 N, FRIDAY NOVEMBER 10, mg. General STEWART and Sir ROBERT WILSON have arrived- at Plymouth, in the Quebee,Frigate, from the Ta;Oil.. We are happy to state, that they bring in 'telligence of a very satisfaaory. nature. The Duke PEL P.ABRUE has obtained a complete and sigtml - victory over the French in . the 'neighbourhood of Salarianca, and little doubt was entertained that . the Spaniards would.be able to drive the French entirely from that place. The French force amounted to at o-at 12000 Men ; they lost one piece of cannon, one stand of colours, 30.0 stand of arms, and about t 400 men. - After their defeat, the French retired to' the Northward of Sala manca. The battle was fought on the 18th ult. '.iihniteurs to the 2cl inst. have reached Town, hut they contain very little news. On the 2gth, a deputation from the Senate of 'Milan, composed of Counts MESCATI, GUISCARDE, and TESTE,, had an audience of 13UONArARTE. Count MESCATI, after an address replete with the most coarse and vulgar Pattery, presented the 'address from the Senate of the Kingdom of Italy, _which we do not think tie. cessary to lay before our lloaders, as it is merely a repetition of that •abjea servility which marks all the addresses to BumsivAßTE. - Letters have been received from Sweden,. which mention, a report that Russia, Sweden, Prussia, and Denmark, had agreed to close the Baltic against the vessels of every other Nation except the French. It is not: unlikely that BUONAPARTE may have pro posed a plan of this kind, because he 'would not he sitate to' recOmrn,und or enforce any measure which he thought would tend to injure this Country, even ,though ,it might be infinitely more injurious to his friends and Allies. But we should suppose that the AMerican Minister, lately sent to St. Petersburgh, would remonstrate, against a . measure so hostile to 'the rights of Neutrals. It is, however, probable that before Russia, Sweden, and Denmark, attempt . to shut up the Baltic, 'they may rgcolleet that-,they made an experiment of that kind once before, and that the result was by no means such as to warrant a repetition of the 4ttempt. Some of the letters recently received from the Con tinent state, that BUtINAPARTE has it 'in contempla tion to restore the Monarchy of Poland in favour of EUGENE BEAUHARNOIS. They also state that BUONA ... T'ARTE is determinedto carryinto execution his threat against the Spaniards, viz.' that he will divide that Kingdom into Provinces, and give them to his fa vourite Generals. jOnPll BUONAVAKI.E, it is said, is to be sent back to Naples. The malignant spirit which vents 'its .spleen, through the columns of the Times, like a troubled it ea which cannot rest, has this morning resumed, the subiea of the late Naval Promotion, for the, fake of further misrepresentation. After our plain statement of facts "yesterday,. we 'shall not think it necessary to follow him through the farrago of his fallacious paragraph, but merely assert that he has most grossly and wilfully misrepresented the question, 'and totally perverted the intent and meaning of the late 4a of Grace, conferred by his Majesty on the senior Officers of the Fleet and Army. It is certainly possible, as the writer says, that the Secretary of the Admiralty m'glit know of the decease of one of the twelve Judges, without its,being officially reported.; nay, it is even possible that a purser. may k eep a tolerably Cor rea account nf' savings of candles' - ends and cheese- parings ; but it is not so easy. immediately .to find out the -decease of one of the 160 Flag Offi ee►s spread over every part of Great Britain, and the' greater part of them wholly unemployed; still less likely is it to ascertain the individual decease. of more than 3000 Lieutenants, which compose the list of this rank olOfficers. We.again repeat, that it was not intended to bea promotion of seleelion, - in which merit alone was to be taken 'into consideration, but a promotion confined to a certain number, taken indiscriminately from the top of the respec tive lists. We have now done yvith this subjett which, indeed, has already occupied too much .ofour paper; but we shall keep our eye in future on the Calutniiies and misrepresentations of the Titnes, an d not suffer them to palm their false.statenaents on the • public, unexplained or uncontradiaed.

Welch, had - unfortunately upset near Tortola, in a most• tremendous hurricane : the homeward , bound Leeward Island'paeket, which was in corn- pany with her, very narrowly escaped—she could render the Dominica no assistance whatever, and it is much feared that all ktr crew perished. A trad ing schooner was upset near Montserrat in Ahe - satne hurricane, and ail hands were lust. There have been several vr.t y - severe gales in that quitter. The Mcselle.bri, of :18 guns, Capt. Boys, in five days from Santo-Domingo, with his Excellency Majot-General Carmichael on board, came to anchor the same afternoon at . Port-Itoyal. On her coming abfeast of Fort Charles, the General received a sa lute of 17 guns, whiCh the Moselle immediately re turned, and on. his quitting-the veSsel shortly after, she saluted him with a similar discharge.

The Counsel for the 'Peti tioners were. Messrs. Tonge and Drew, and against them Mr. Whyte, Recorder. It is worthy of re mark that iu their petition they admitted the inde corous conduct of former preachers. Articles of Agreement between Major.
